To provide an update on Jordan Jokiel’s activities and where we are now on <br />some of the things that he was working on. <br /> <br />3. Access to hunting lands in Kona and Hualalai. <br /> <br />D. Penn was not sure which areas GMAC was interested in. He has not gotten <br />into that component of the access issues yet as deeply as some of the other <br />ones. But he provided an example from maps that are in their hunting rules in his <br />power point presentation. Some of the areas in Kona might be Honuaula Forrest <br />Reserves which is open for hunting, which is map 7 in their hunting rules and <br />then there’s some other areas further down in South Kona which are the natural <br />area reserves and so these are all the hunting units and they’re labeled with the <br />letters according to how they are in the hunting rules. <br /> <br />D. Penn asked for more detail on which areas in particular that GMAC is <br />concerned about and he will put that on the list for things to work on. <br /> <br />T. Lodge point to an area on the map (a little strip) and suggested that D. Penn <br />walk the access area since Kona hunters frequently ask questions about that <br />area. It may be landlocked. <br /> <br />Two other sites were pointed out on the map which is landlocked or almost <br />inaccessible unless you trespass. Area is state, public land and yet there is no <br />access. <br /> <br />M. Bartell stated that he and W. Camara service on a sub-committee within <br />GMAC and worked with J. Jokiel and that they look forward in working with D. <br />Penn. <br /> <br />Kona/ Hualalai access there was also a question posed to D. Penn about <br />discussions between Palani Ranch and Kamehameha Schools. He did not have <br />anything to report on that. <br /> <br />Implementation of changes to hunting rules (Kona/Hualalai): D. Penn was not <br />sure exactly what that question was about. L. Hadway could comment on that. <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
